Associate's Degree
Mathematics
Concentration
Today, mathematicians are engaged in activities ranging from the creation of new theories to the translation of scientific and managerial problems into mathematical terms. Successful completion of the mathematics area of study will give the student the necessary background, experience and competence in mathematics, related fields and general education areas to pursue a bachelor’s degree in pure mathematics, computer mathematics, statistics, systems analysis/operations research or mathematics education.
Prerequisites
High School studies should include:
- 4 years of math including second-year algebra, geometry and trigonometry;
Missing courses may be made up, but because of the sequential nature of the required courses in mathematics, students may have to take more than the usual number of semesters to complete the program.
Requirements
All students must complete the General Education core degree requirements (link to page 2 of general education core requirements), and they must complete the following courses specific to the concentration. Courses required for the concentration may also satisfy General Education requirements.
- MAT 223, MAT 224, MAT 225 – Calculus/Analytic Geometry I, II, III;
- MAT 240 – Linear Algebra;
- MAT 243 – Differential Equations.
